Property prices and availability in and around Précy sous Thil

Burgundy is generally considered to be quite an expensive area when it comes to property, as this beautiful region has become very popular with the discerning buyer seeking a home in the unspoilt countryside yet close to sophisticated cities. However, keeping a careful eye on the market can pay dividends, especially in this economic climate, when sellers are becoming more realistic about pricing their homes to sell. For example a lovely country cottage, fully renovated and ready to move into has recently been reduced to just 98,000 Euros!
